Lifeguard Jay March says drags conducted over the past month have been clear but there were reports of box jellyfish last week.

"We've been doing drags since the first of October but we haven't found anything up here but there were reports on Friday morning of a couple of small box jellyfish being washed up at Wongaling and South Mission Beach," he said.

"I'd advise everyone to be aware and take precautions and be safe ... wear stinger suits or at least cover up as much as possible.

Mr March says the nets will be returned to the water over the next couple of days.
